Something about the WHITE TA, that stands out even from the orange one. In my own opinion and taste, it would have been nice to offset all that white with maybe an orange carbon drivers side stripe or wheel trims. Just something. Although like I said,,,it is a stand out car and much to be appreciated.

Nice ride !!

I still believe the white and black should have the SRT racing stripes. Black stripe on the white and white on the blacks.

White TA is totally awesome, that would be my pick too if I were in the market for new one. What do you think of ghostly off color white, blue or black stipes done with a faint touch in the snake skin pattern. Just a thought!!! :t15197:

Thought About A Stripe,It Would Be One BLK Stripe, Over The Driver's Side Just To Break Up The White, Like The ACR. Keeping It The Way The Factory Did It!!!!! For Now, Just Gonna Leave It Stock,Yeh Just Can't Compare It A Gen2, It's Night And Day !!! Need More Seat Time For Sure, So Far So Awesome !!!! Def Needs A Shorter Throw Shifter, Even Though The Shifter Is Mounted Right Too The Tranny , There Is No Linkage Sought Of, The Throw Is Longer ,Then My Gen2, But That Can Be Addressed In Time.

Very nice. I'm dying to see and shoot a TA in person. Hopefully I'll see at least one in a months time, either at NYIAS or in Ohio.

The shifter itself is very good, much better than previous gens. It just needs a shorter handle. MGW makes them.

Isn't the factory shifter a short throw one?

If So Which One Is It , I went To There Sight And Do Not See It For The Gen5

You have to call them. Their site hasn't been updated in years. I ordered mine last week, should have it sometime this week.

The shifter in all new, has a billet base like the MGW and there is very little tunnel room for shift throw improvements to be had. I know George was working on a shifter, but the packaging of it was the difficult part. The shorter shifter knob they have will do that a small amount though.
